Preference for one night camping
When looking for a quick overnight camping spot, do you prefer something closer to the highway or would you drive a few minutes off to get away from the highway noise?

We've done both state park hopping and truck stops. I try to plan park hopping into my overall trip plan, but it's not always possible. Like when we go down to the Florida Keys, that's one where I'm just trying to make miles and due to potential weather events I'm not even sure which route I'll take (I refuse to take I77 if there's going to be ice, it's borderline unacceptably nerve racking under good conditions, I75 is my backup but it's about 4-5 hours longer with a trailer and it means scheduling around Atlanta).
Oh, and I found NY State parks have a 2 night minimum during the summer, paying double makes it a lot less attractive, but since it's a small amount of the total trip budget we held our nose and payed. They also absolutely insist on knowing the names of everyone in your party, very invasive IMHO and something I've never experienced anywhere else in 43 states or 11 countries.
